Edible Peanut Butter Play Dough Recipe

Here’s an easy recipe for edible peanut butter play dough, that is gluten free and can be baked into simple, tasty treats too. A fun and quirky spin on the classic play dough recipes which tastes great!

Edit to add: I’ve seen recipes that are the same as the above but use powdered sugar/ icing sugar instead. Try those if you have no powdered milk!

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and add more powdered milk if the dough remains too sticky to touch. Then simply roll it out, cut shapes and play! The lovely thing about this recipe is that it is completely edible so safe for little ones who are still at the tasting stage. Obviously do not use this with children who have a nut allergy or are too young to eat nuts.

After a little bit of playing we thought we would experiment by seeing if the dough could be cooked, and it can!

We rolled them into balls (great for fine motor skills), pushed them into some oats and baked them for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius on an oven tray. They were delicious with a glass of milk, though only one or two at a time as they were fairly salty!

This play dough is, essentially, just normal cooking dough, but still lots of fun. I probably wouldn’t put it in our favourites list but I’m glad we tried it as we had it bookmarked as a must-try for a long time!

My daughter and I are huge fans of your play dough recipes and have accumulated an assortment of yummy scented, colored doughs since I discovered your blog. Some of them are ready to be retired and I was curious if you have any other ideas to use for old play dough before throwing it out?
